Left-winger Pat Graham was a part-time player with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Toronto Maple Leafs in the early 80s. He was an industrious worker in the corners and also had a quick release which kept goaltenders on high alert.

The Toronto native played junior B with the St. Michael's Buzzers before enjoying a fine OHA career with the Toronto Marlboros and Niagara Falls Flyers. He was chosen 114th overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1980 the returned to junior for two years where he accumulated 71 goals.

Graham showed some spunk and contributed a bit of offense to the weak Penguins in 1981-82. His play tailed off the next season and he spent more of his time with the AHL's Baltimore Skipjacks. In August, 1983, he and goalie Nick Ricci were traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Rocky Saganiuk and Vince Tremblay. Graham was a decent role player on the woeful Leafs but ended up in the minors the next season. He retired in 1985 after splitting the year between the AHL's Adirondack Red Wings and the Braunlage club of Germany.
